Commission Comparison

REAL Charges 15%.
LPT Charges $500.

REAL Brokerage is a solid cloud brokerage with a great community. But their 85/15 split still takes a percentage of every commission — and their $12,000 cap is more than double LPT's.

The Core Difference

Percentage vs. Flat Fee

On every single deal, REAL takes 15% of your commission. LPT charges a flat $500. Here's what that looks like at different price points.

Sale Price	Commission (2.5%)	REAL Takes (15%)	LPT Charges
$300K	$7,500	$1,125	$500
$450K	$11,250	$1,688	$500
$600K	$15,000	$2,250	$500
$1M	$25,000	$3,750	$500

The bigger your deals, the more the percentage model costs. LPT's flat fee doesn't care if you sold a $200K condo or a $2M estate.
